Chaplin Lake Tour: A 2-hour tour offered every 2 hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Cost is $15 per person.

We use the dike roads that Saskatchewan Minerals provide, thus you get very close to the birds. (This is private property, open only to Sask. Minerals and Chaplin tourism.)

Expect to see a variety of shorebirds including the endangered piping plover. This lake has a story to tell about shorebirds but also a story about the Sodium Sulphate Mine and the Brine Shrimp Industry.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our air-conditioned tours.

Tours are also available upon request, and may be custom designed to suit your personal/group needs.
